Thanks Brian! I have everything in my website, pens and a little of this and that! Fountain pens are like pipes, a seldom utilized art form! Mine are all roller ball sadly, but I welcome any comments on those as well!

Thanks alot! Im glad you did that!

My name is Eric, here is my story so far and a sort of "how I do it" thingy...I need to put up or shut up I guess... Best wishes! This is a little long but heres the background... I have a woodworking shop at my house, I dabble in this, I dabble in that, I make a lot of pens, etc. I saw a ...

I know Im a newb here, but I feel compelled to chime in when I feel I can offer something of use... Google+ offers the video and also the voice...I havent used video cuz honestly nobody wants to see me sitting in my underwear holding a pipe scrathing my growing waistline.... :lol: The voice is basic...

That looks awesome!

Should have made it a dual chamber bowl...one side for coffee, one side for smoke, the fire would have kept the coffee warm!

Nice and clean! Id smoke it!

I think this video along with Blakemar's is what helped nudge me further into the vortex...

Good to know. When and if or if and when I get around to it I will be more than happy to share my joys or failures on this supplier! Otherwise I may have some stummels for sale....

Newcarver, I think you did a great job for a first attempt. So to get your dad from cigs to pipes you could get him used to sticking the cigars end down in the bowl of his pipe and have him smoke them that way. After time you can start removing his cigars and put some pipe tobacco in there. Maybe h...

Thank you! Those are very nice. I also like your Roma No.3 Pipe very much! I have a dremel, but this was something I saw and wanted to try real quick.

This was an old cheapo pipe bought off Amazon. I gave it to my dad to try so I could convert him from cigs to pipes. After awhile the finish started bubbling off...he was hot-boxing the hell out of it. Anyway this was my first try at rustication. I used the method shown on the Blakemore briars video...

I recently found this...will be giving them a try soon...anyone have an experience with them? Quality? Hope it helps...

I am interested in this as well. Would be nice to see affordable in this craft!

I dig the Carter Hall. Its also nice with Black Cavendish and Vanilla if youre into blending. Makes a real nice mellow fragrant smoke.

Frankly, I used to smoke cigs (the smell was killing me though) and the aromatic blends are the only thing my wife will let me get away with now...

I have to say, I've got a soft spot for short pipes. This one would fit the bill perfectly. I like it. This. Also, it goes without saying that you would have to do this to the stem/shank junction in this particular case, but I love the way you blended the dips in the 'boo with the stem...that just ...

Im glad you posted these. I actually looked at your site a day or two ago and without too much schmoozing meant or implied, I really appreciate your work. I sat there with my slackjaw and my wife shaking her head saying..."You've lost your damn mind..."

These are gorgeous.
